"Note. When the Revised Version of 1881 was in progress, it was proposed by the present Bishop of Worcester that it should first appear in a Tentative Edition, as had been the case with the German Revised Bible, so that it might 'circulate experimentally for two or three years.' The difficulties of this plan appeared to the English Revisers to be insurmountable. We, however, have adopted it, and issue this edition as a Tentative Edition only."--end of preface, p.[8]
